History and Background of the .VILLAS Domain

The .VILLAS domain extension was delegated in the mid-2010s as part of ICANN's new generic top-level domain program. Delegation refers to the point when a domain extension is officially added to the global domain name system and becomes technically active. It was introduced for vacation properties and villa-related listings.

After delegation, the extension typically went through standard launch phases, including a sunrise period (which allows trademark holders to register names first) before becoming available to the general public. Today, .VILLAS is commonly used for villa rentals, property marketing, and travel accommodation sites.

Why you might not choose .VILLAS

While .VILLAS is distinctive, there are a few considerations:
  • Niche focus: Best suited for villa and luxury listings.
  • Audience size: Narrower appeal than general housing extensions.
  • Recognition: Less familiar than widely used extensions.
  • Brand scope: Less flexible for broader property coverage.

Because of these factors, Website.com currently focuses on proven, widely recognized extensions such as .COM, .NET, and .ORG that deliver consistency, affordability, and broad recognition. .VILLAS domains are not currently available for registration through Website.com.
